Course: SPAN 111
Term: Winter

Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline

Dear Hunter Kalamut,

I have reviewed your petition to drop SPAN 111 (W23) after the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I have granted this request due to the timeline of your extenuating circumstances as confirmed by the documentation you supplied. Going forward you should know that it is the student??s responsibility to pause and evaluate the impact of extenuating circumstances on their classes during week 7 of the term. If they have fallen behind in a course or find the material too difficult, they should drop the course by week 8 of term. The drop deadlines, outlined in the ??Important Dates? section on the Faculty of Arts and Science web page, have been established to ensure fair and equitable treatment of all students.

Due to the impacts of your extenuating circumstances during the 2023 Winter term, I am also willing to allow you to drop CISC 203, and CISC 223 (W23) after the academic deadline. If you would like to accept this offer, please email asc.petitions@queensu.ca within 10 business days of receiving this letter.

Note that any change in academic registration may impact government or private-firm student financial assistance eligibility and/or funding. Please consult with the Student Awards Office, Office of the University Registrar, Gordon Hall, to understand the potential implications of changes to course or program registration and/or the consequences of not successfully completing the required course load.

Sincerely,

Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.

Associate Dean (Academic)
